Uh.. Oh.. Help!
I think I made a mistake... I haven't figured this stuff out.
I ordered the Maximizer 14mm hex beadlocks.. these wheels:
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXNWN8
and thought they went with these tires, the proline crimefighters:

But the tires seem too big kinda. Do these things go together or did I make a mistake?
Help

RE: Uh.. Oh.. Help!
Ugh. welp it sez in the description of the maximizers but... they obviously meant the smaller ones which I didn't see. [:'(]
Jaysus. Now I have to figure out what to order.
I'll tell ya, you won't believe how many mistakes like this I've made since getting back into this hobby lol
I can't figure out if I want to keep the rubber and order new wheels or visa versa ah decisions decisions

I'm just going to send them back to towerhobbies I think. I don't want 23mm's either because I really don't want the added weight. I'm still rolling all this around my head though.
I think I may just keep the tires, get wabashes, get adapters for 14mm, and paint them,
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPTJ2&P=7
and forget about the whole bead lock thing. I really wanted bead locks though. But I don't want 5 lbs of wheels/tires adding to the weight of the truck.[sm=tongue_smile.gif]
Thanks for the link HILLFINGER! I have a big credit from tower hobbies I'm going to use. hehe
What I DID order that works is all new RPM bits, new Hummer H2 body, and some other stuff.
All EIGHT wheels I ordered are going back though lol

I've got those same wheels on my revo. Only thing is I've got zombie-maxx tires on them. I weight'd them before and they only weigh 326 grams. The stock wheels(2.5 revo) weight 261 grams. So there is a diffrence and unfortunatly it does show.[&o] Check out this thread to see diffrent tire and wheel combo's and how much each one weighs. [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5800953/mpage_2/key_/tm.htm]The Tire and Rim Weight Thread.[/link] And another bonus pic of my truck with the wheels on.
